Sky on 57 – Lunar New Year Luncheon with Kagoshima

January 22, 2012 / Glenn Lee / 5 comments

Christmas came and went, then New Year’s arrived with a bang. Before we realize it, Chinese New Year is just on the horizon. To all my readers and friends celebrating the festivities, here’s wishing all of us a bountiful new year ahead!

I was invited to the press luncheon of the launch of the Lunar New Year Luncheon Menu at Sky on 57 last Monday however as I was in Hong Kong over the weekend, I was not able to attend. From what I see on the blog posts of some of the bloggers who attended the luncheon, it was quite the event with Kagoshima Governor Yuichiro Ito gracing the luncheon. Chef Justin Quek and his restaurant, Sky on 57, was accorded a Certification of Recommendation from the governor himself. The Certificate of Recommendation is an affirmation that the dining establishment is serving up worthy ingredients from Kagoshima.

However, all was not lost, for I tried the Lunar New Year Luncheon menu last Friday. Of course, it was good that work ended early and that Marina Bay Sands was a mere 5 minute taxi ride away. Read more

Scotts Beef Noodles – ION Orchard Food Court

September 12, 2011 / Glenn Lee / 5 comments

Do you still remember the Beef Noodles that came with a thick gravy from long ago at Scotts Shopping Centre? I DO, albeit vaguely! Although I have since forgotten what the taste of the noodles was but I vaguely remember the current dish looking somewhat familiar.

Fond memories aside, looking at this bowl of beef noodles from a new perspective, I thought that it was a dish that’s hard not to like. With the flavourful gravy paired with thin slices of beef, that’s like THE perfect combination.

Oh, the beef balls were definitely irresistible too! And all that for less than S$10 (you can even have a drink with it and not exceed that amount!). Simple comforts for the soul, I’d say.

Shi Wei Tian (食唯天) – Taste of Nostalgia Part 1 of 2

August 16, 2011 / Chu Yang / 2 comments

Forenote: C.Y., my guest blogger, dined here as their guest.

I’ve always found that the best food are those that feel closer to one’s heart . You’ll immediately get this warm fuzzy feeling inside when you eat them. Food with rich history appeals to me the most; I love old places that have tenants running their little establishments for years. Shi Wei Tian (食唯天), albeit new in the scene, hails with recipes passed down from generations.

No. 18 Zion Road Char Kway Teow

May 15, 2011 / Glenn Lee / 3 comments

Everyone get cravings. It’s not just the prerogative of pregnant woman. Just as we would give in to any of the demands, however absurd they may be, of the mother of our children, we always give in to the weird cravings that our tummy calls out for without complaints.

On my last trip back to Singapore, I had one of those cravings. It was 10pm and I had just landed in Changi from Perth. I was hungry. And the meal that my tummy called out for, was not a five course French dinner or a plate of Italian pasta, it was a plate of potentially artery-clogging plate of Char Kway Teow (CKT). Read more
